Testo di Jesse James

Jesse James was a man who rambled through the land And he robbed many a bank and train He was the leader man of a bold and reckless band And many are the people that were slain. But, no more Jesse James; no more Jesse James They laid poor Jesse in his grave Jesse went and turned his head; Little Bobby shot him dead And they laid poor Jesse in his grave. --- Instrumental --- Now Jesse had a wife; who mourned all her life Because of Jesse's evil ways But she couldn't stay his hand; or stop the robber band Her grief made her old and gray. But, no more Jesse James; no more Jesse James They laid poor Jesse in his grave Jesse went and turned his head; Little Bobby shot him dead And they laid poor Jesse in his grave. --- Instrumental --- But the end it came at last; from a bullet quick and fast From a comrade he trusted in his band And the deed they said was just; when they laid him in the dust He had been such a terror in the land. But, no more Jesse James; no more Jesse James They laid poor Jesse in his grave Jesse went and turned his head; Little Bobby shot him dead And they laid poor Jesse in his grave. --- Instrumenal to fade ---
